PAINT. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 31, 1906.

Application filed November 28.1906. Serial No. 289,482.

it may be placed.

twelve and a half per cent.

'1 take of pulverized charcoal twelve and a half per cent; white lead, twelve and a half per cent. linseed-oil, fifty per cent. kerosene, nine and three-eighths per cent. borax, three and one-eighth per cent. and chrome-green The color may be varied, however, and for producing other colors I employ various proportions of suitable coloring-matter. The ingredients stated may be readily obtained in small quantities and admixed together so as to make, say, one gallon of paint. I designate my paint as charcoal-paint. The charcoal must be ground fine enoughto dust through a heav cloth, and after the materials are Well a mixed and worked together they should-be passed through a mill, after which the paint is ready for use.

I do not limit myself to the exact proportions stated, vfor the reason that these may be varied within' pro or limits without dearting from the spirit of my invention. l Ieither do I limit myself to the 'use of coloring-matter nor to any particular proportions of such coloring-matter.

I find that a paint prepared as above described will stand forany length of time in any sort of weather. It forms a hard coat of a-character resembling that of cement, and

it preserves the wood or other surface from theaction of rain and sunshine. It does not crack or peel off in the manner of paints of other kinds. A piece of wood coated with this paint may be soaked in water and the latter can have no eflect toward loosening the paint or otherwise removing the same. I also find that the paint in question is excel lent when applied to roofs or to any'outside surfaces and that when applied to wood buried under ground it protects the wood perfectly. For that puigpose Iprefer to use the paint without the a dition of the color ing-matter. When the amt is applied to new wood, two coats are esirable, as the single coat may be drawn into the pores of the wood so that the color of the paint is not manifested. In such case the secondcoat will show the color of the aint.

Having thus describe Patent I -A paint, containing pulverized charcoal twelve and a half per cent, white lead twelve and a half per cent, linseed-oil fifty per cent. kerosene nine and three eighths per cent, borax three and one-eighth per cent, and coloring-matter twelve and a half per cent.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
